midweek jollies vol. 8

my only pope (unless the next one's better); new tunes; fashion in the midwest

Happy Wednesday and welcome to midweek jollies, a paid subscriber perk here at The Rewilded Life. The horrors continue to persist in the world writ large, but for this little sliver of time all you have to think about are various and sundry pleasantries. Included this week: goodbye Papa Francisco, new music from Julien Baker & TORRES, Bon Iver, and Mayday Parade, and the Des Moines fashion circuit is better than it sounds.
